An increased ESR may be due to arthritis, systemic conditions, bone infections and certain heart conditions may cause ESR levels to rise.

Hi doctors, I did my regular blood report which came normal, but my ESR was 25 mm. I do not have any symptoms nor have I had any infection recently. Why is it high if the normal range is 0 to 15? Please suggest. Is it too high? I am worried.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My age is 16 and My esr rate is 65. Is it dangerous?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Why would an esr be slightly raised (19)?
